<A NAME="CJHEACBD"></A><h1>About the PBODB115 initialization file</h1>
<A NAME="TI2230"></A><h4>What is the PBODB115 initialization file? </h4>
<A NAME="TI2231"></A><p>When you access data through the ODBC interface, PowerBuilder uses the
PBODB115 initialization file (<i>PBODB115.INI</i>)
to maintain access to extended functionality in the back-end DBMS
for which ODBC does not provide an API call. Examples of extended
functionality are <ACRONYM title = "sequel" >SQL</ACRONYM> syntax or
function calls specific to a particular DBMS.</p>
<A NAME="TI2232"></A><h4>Editing PBODB115.INI</h4>
<A NAME="TI2233"></A><p>In most cases, you do <i>not</i> need to modify <i>PBODB115.INI</i>.
Changes to this file can adversely affect PowerBuilder. Change <i>PBODB115.INI</i> only
if you are asked to do so by a Technical Support representative.</p>
<A NAME="TI2234"></A><p>However, you <i>can</i> edit <i>PBODB115.INI</i> if
you need to add functions for your back-end DBMS.</p>
<A NAME="TI2235"></A><p>If you modify <i>PBODB115.INI</i>, first make
a copy of the existing file. Then keep a record of all changes you
make. If you call Technical Support after modifying <i>PBODB115.INI</i>,
tell the representative that you changed the file and describe the
changes you made.</p>
